there is no longer a romney-ryan campaign, so that distraction falls away. apologists of the executive overreach have also tried to muddy the issue by suggesting that the administration is merely giving the states what they have asked for. for example -- and i take this a little personally -- in an effort to create a false justification for their power grab, the obama administration has repeatedly misrepresented the views of the state of utah. it is true that when asked by the administration what they wanted in a tanf reauthorization, some states indicated the desire for more flexibility, but there was never any indication that the states wanted the administration to go around congress to provide this flexibility. according to the government accounting office or accountability office, between 2000 and 2009, during the clinton, bush and even the obama administration, h.h.s. consistently told states that they had no waiver authority under tanf. so states naturally and rightly assumed that any request for waivers would have to go through congress. this is evide

these are huge changes that go exactly against what is in the interests of the romney team. maybe they thought if they nominated paul ryan they could take advantage of what they believed to be massive culturally conservative white working-class voter but doesn't seem to be happening. they are making some progress among white working-class voters according to the pole and some progress among college graduates but nowhere close to what is needed to take the state. they are not able to master the state in the face of demographic change and demographic patterns. florida is a state that if the romney campaign loses florida their chances of winning the 2012 election are close to zero. at this point the obama campaign is running a little bit ahead in florida by several points
